He was staying at Housekeeping Camp. Neighbors at the camp told rangers that Sevier would go out for day hikes on a daily basis. He would hike alone each day and return to camp in the evening.
Sevier works at Navy Medical Center Portsmouth, according to the National Park Service. Park Rangers describe him as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 128 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and may have been wearing Aéropostale, Abercrombie or Hollister brand clothing.
Rangers are actively looking on and around popular hiking trails, such as the Upper Yosemite Fall Trail and the Mist Trail. They are also using trained dogs and helicopter from the California Highway Patrol in the search. About 30 people are currently involved in search efforts.
On Wednesday, May 10, a National Park Service spokesperson told 10 On Your Side that rangers have found “absolutely” no clues yet. A few people have reported seeing Sevier, but those tips haven’t panned out.
